It's been a busy week, let's recap
Mi Primer Bitcoin El Salvador (npub17cy…4ml3) announced they were low of funds in the short term and asked the community to help fund the next two months, after which some grants will come in. As part of this Call To Action, the organization shared detailed breakdowns of both income and expenses and called on other bitcoin education projects to do the same
The community responded! There was a surge of donations and community support and in just a few days we reduced our needed 'bridge' in half. Our two month deficit has been reduced to one month. We still need your support NOW, but we are making solid progress--thanks to you!
There were also two announcements about conferences and in the spirit of financial transparency let's look at each from that angle
In a few weeks I'll be speaking at Learning Bitcoin. The conference itself will pay travel expenses, I'll stay in a spare room of the conference founder/ organizer, and the trip will cost My Firsts Bitcoin nothing. Quick plug here: this is an education focused bitcoin conference, super high-signal and exactly the sort of thing we want to support--you should too
We also announced ticket sales for the 4th edition of the Bitcoin Educators Unconference, hosted in El Salvador on Nov 14th. This is a non-commercial event and will never allow sponsors, so we try to keep costs as low as possible and recoup costs from ticket sales only. We expect to break-even, though if you count salaries of paid staff that help organize then this would likely lose money, still we consider this a worthy cost as its a massive boast to the international movement of community-led, front-line independent bitcoin educators
